The Role of AI/ML in the Scale-up of Catalytic Reaction Systems

CCUS / By

Catalysts are inevitable in the modern-day chemical industry. They are known to speed up any chemical reaction, ultimately demanding reduced equipment size and faster production rates. Most chemical reactions produce multiple products, and we are not usually interested in all of them. Hence, the chemical processing conditions, such as temperature and pressure, must be maintained […]
